Yes, very much. I even write about it sometimes for news sites. When I had more free time I used to follow a lot of the lower tier teams, but since I've been busier this year and the scene has grown so exponentially, I've found myself just watching the big tournaments more and more - DAC, The Summit, ESL, MLG, etc.
My favorite team would be EG. I'm a fan mostly of ppd - I love his drafting style, I think it's because of him that EG doesn't really follow any 'meta' but retains their own unique style of play all year round. I also love his hero pool (super similar to the heroes I like to play), how much impact he has on such low-farm heroes, his interviews/vlogs/draft analysis/stream, and of course the :salty: persona. Honestly I liked their old S A D B O Y S iteration better - I thought they were much stronger with Zai and Arteezy. But I still really like Fear, Universe, and now aui_2000. Sumail is a little meh for me, but hopefully he starts playing more consistently.
